MuseScore instructions on doing tablature:

https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/tablature

I think when I did it, I changed an existing staff to tablature, since 
my goal was to convert an existing score into tab. That turned the staff 
into tablature, replacing the score, and I wasn't editing anything in 
MuseScore. I think if you create your score/tab using the New Score 
Wizard, maybe MuseScore links them?

That's always the problem!
